   Configuration steps : Basic Settings, Calculation, and Posting
   1. SAP uses condition types (e.g., MWAS sales tax and MWVS input tax) as the basis of a calculation procedure, which enables integration between the SD, MM, and FI modules.
      
   2. Create an Access Sequence (MWST Tax Indicator) and underneath it an access code (10 (Table 3) Tax Code).
      
   3. Create a calculation procedure for each country or jurisdiction for which you need one (for example, TAXF = sales tax for France and TAXIT = sales tax for Italy). Behind this you put a control procedure, which defines the calculation steps (TAXF).
      
   4. Procedure TAXF Sales Tax – France:
      

Steps	Control	Condition Type	Description	From
100	0	BASB	Base Amount
110	0	MWAS	Sales Tax	100
120	0	MWVS	Input Tax	100
140	0	MWVN	Non Deductible input tax	100
150	0	NLXA	Acquisition tax credit	100
160	0	NLXV	Acquit ion tax debit	150

 

1. Next assign a country to a calculation procedure (AT Austria = TAXAT).
   
2. Check and change settings for tax processing as follows:
   

Process	MWS
Text	Output Tax
Tax Type	1 Output Tax
Not deductible	Not used here
Posting indicator	2 Separate line item

 

1. Define tax codes, which will be used in transactions. (Tcode: FTXP)
   

Country key	FR
Tax code	D1
Procedure	TAXF
Tax Type	V
Behind the VAT code define its properties
Tax code	D1 Deferred input tax - standard rate 19,6%
Tax Type	V Input tax
Check	Select if SAP to check calculation
Target tax code V1	This tax code transfer input tax to code V1 when related invoices area paid
Assign GL a/c to the tax code	Tcode FTXP / OB40. Maintained in table T030K When entering tax codes with no tax rate, entering 0 rate allows accessing them. Also need to assign GL a/c to these tax codes.

 

1. 
   
   Finally, tax codes have to be allocated for non-taxable transactions, outside the scope of VAT (e.g., general ledger journal entries between accounts which require a valid tax code) – e.g.: Input VN and Output AN. The codes are created in the normal way first, but with a zero percentage rate. Use Tcode OBCL to jump directly to where these tax codes are defined.
   
   
   
2. VAT Return configuration
   

When configuring VAT processing it is also necessary to maintain Table TRVOR (with transaction code SM31) and enter the company code and fiscal year against the ABAP which runs the advance tax return (e.g., RFUMSV20 for Italy and Spain prior to Release 4.6C) and against the ABAP which runs the document journal (RFBELJ10). Otherwise the report will not run and the error report does not tell you much except to point you towards Table TRVOR.
